You could do so many things with your light without the reflector, you just have to be creative... I would suggest chaining it to the roof, but make sure your light aint for that is the stupidest thing you could do, it happend to me -.-, Trial and Error boy that sucks lol.

Is your ballast attached or detached to the light bulb socket?

1. Make sure your room is properly ventilated with heat OUT and fresh cool air IN.

2. If your problem is number 1 above, fix that then re-test temps. If not, go to 3.

3. Make sure you have a good strong fan blowing on the lamp to the exhaust.

4. Tin snip the reflector so you can bend the sides out a little more. I hate to tell you to get rid of the reflector because with that little light, you will need all you can get. Tou can use a white board on top of the light like I do, then hang the lights with twistie ties from the board. You use the board because you lose too much light at the top if you don't.

here's some that grew in 100+ degrees at times,ussually 100.There covered in crystals...just as many as my indoor so temp can stress it,but I'm pretty sure mine will be really good.
You're bad results were most likely bad genetics.(just a guess).
Pics are afew weeks old.

Hi, cheers 4 helpin out people,
HARDDON i know your idea's would work it's just that since my grow room is in my bedroom, like right next to me now, i cant get air coming in and out so good, well definately cant get hot air going out, i aint got an extractor thing, i suppose i could buy a big oisilating fan as to blow more cold air in, im only using a pc fan at the moment.
And the GR is small, about, 2x2 and 6 feet height.
Cheers 4 helpin.
